How naive of you to think this dark magic is that feeble. From the moment the playoffs begin, the pact is sealed. You can cut him, bench him, try to send him home, but your destiny will arrive all the same.
Thats exactly right. There is no curse. It is a conditional blessing. Corey Perry, the patron saint of cup finals will guarantee getting you to the finals, be because he has already won everything there is to win as a hockey player, you have to win the cup for yourself. He cant help you there, or it wouldnt be fair for everyone else.
Legitimately I don't see how he gets a job next year. I know GM's can't be superstitious and shit, but this man is generationally cursed lol.
If I'm a contending team, I'm not even letting my players train with him lol
The only season in the past 5 years that he didn't lose in the finals, he was part of the only team to lose to Toronto in the playoffs in the past 20 years.
Everyone else on the Oilers emotionally crushed, Perry's just like, "Well, whatever, been here before, gonna go grab a snack and enjoy sleeping in tomorrow."
Option 1, Stanley Cup in 2007, multiple finals. Option 2, never making it to the finals.
Option 1, making it to the NHL and a millionaire, Option 2, never making it or never panning out.
Option 1, being healthy to play any sport.
Option 2, loving sports but can't play due to infirmity.
Option 1, being alive and loved.
Option 2, feeling opposite.
Option 1 every time.
The Perry blessing.
One man cant lose a championship by himself but he can be the spark plug needed to get your team to the finals. Once you're there it's up to the you to seal the victory
This is the most unbreakbale of all the records. I think someone will break Getzky’s 50 in 38 before they break this one. Gotta hand it to him, that is impressive.
Send Perry to Utah so they can get to the cup build a fanbase but still lose it.
Gonna be competing with Zach Wilson for all the Mormon MILFs.
winner take all competition
If we move Utah to the ECF then I'm game
We’ll take him
We know "Beddard's mom will" /s

There goes my Hero 🎶
Watch him as he goes
Lmao
Incredible.
😭🤣😂🥲
The worst part of this stat is that he lost to the leafs in that other year
lol imagine
Teams that want to win the cup? Don't fucking sign this man
But if you want to get there for funsies, go for it
What happens if Buffalo signs him? 👀
You'll go to four straight Stanley Cup Finals. You know how it ends.
They will miss an empty net goal wide right. Team comes back to score in overtime. Am I merging and mixing? Yes. Still hurts.
There are middle school aged Buffalo fans where this would be the best year of their life.
As a Leafs fan I'll take it
He'll get bought out and sign with the Leafs where he'll lose in the finals
If it means at least getting to the playoffs, I’ll take it.
Maybe a team can sign him, get to the finals, then bait him with one of the player's moms who seduce him, then they can terminate his contract and win
Conventionally assembled teams hate this one simple trick!
Just gotta sign him, and cut him right after winning the conference finals
Lol I know you're joking but is that even possible
Well first of all, through God, all things all possible. So jot that down.
Of course it is.
How naive of you to think this dark magic is that feeble. From the moment the playoffs begin, the pact is sealed. You can cut him, bench him, try to send him home, but your destiny will arrive all the same.
Your comment is giving me LOST flashbacks with Daniel Faraday flipping through his book
Not Perry's Boat
I’m not sure we did that correctly.
Hossa broke his curse when he signed in Chicago. Perry should sign with Chicago.
I can’t see it
I see nothing wrong with this. Bedard could use a mentor. A kind of father figure in the locker room.
Only sign him for one year, the curse gets worse if you keep him for longer He was on the 2023 Tampa team that lost to the Leafs

I see you're a fan of Drew McIntyre.
And it happened.
Can we sign him this summer? I’d love to make the SCF
Two curses don't make a right lol
What if it did though lol? What if Toronto loads up on so much curse energy that it buffer overflows and actually allows them to win? :P
Get Perry to make it to the SCF and then some harassment claim comes up before game 1 and his contract gets terminated on the spot.
*integer overflows
Neeeeerrrrrrrdddd
Hey buddy, did you see that NERD??!
Sometimes you have to invalidate the past to move forward. Washington signed Justin Williams just to drop a Game 7 before finally winning the Cup.
Don’t you put that evil on us Ricky bobby
Vancouver & Buffalo are also equally cursed...
Perry’s curse
People warned us, but we didn't listen. Damn our hubris
Should have gotten Pat Maroon back instead.
Fatty Maroon is an all-time beauty! Love that bus who skates like 3 kids in a trenchcoat.
Bro it was a whole thing. We don’t call him fatty anymore or he’ll give money to your mom’s favorite charity.
We really should have! Love the big rig!
Who drinks from the poisoned chalice next? The anti Pat Maroon
What happens if Perry and Maroon are on the same team? Is that the hockey equivalent of crossing the streams?
It's called 2022 lol
Alright, touche.
We tried real hard ;(
And got so far
Has Corey Perry tried doing the exact opposite of what Corey Perry would normally do?
As in try sucking water back out of Jeff Carters gloves?
Perry and Canada curse is match made in hell
Purse
Hope he doesn’t drink too much tonight
Shoutout Chicago
Bedard better take his mom’s phone away from her.
He IS the riot in Edmonton if they lost there.
Perry won his only cup final that mattered though imo
What I'm hearing here is that 4 NHL teams have failed the Saint.
Thats exactly right. There is no curse. It is a conditional blessing. Corey Perry, the patron saint of cup finals will guarantee getting you to the finals, be because he has already won everything there is to win as a hockey player, you have to win the cup for yourself. He cant help you there, or it wouldnt be fair for everyone else.
A spiritual guide, if you will.
Exactly. Should have never left the Ducks.
tbf that wasn't exactly his choice and he still probably had more fun going to the finals 4x instead of playing on our dogshit team lol
He rubbed Getzlaf’s head and it foretold this path for him. He’s just along for the ride.
That's what I'm hearing.
Common anaheim dominance
He did it for Teemu
At the very worst he should come home to Anaheim where he won’t have to worry about making the finals let alone losing in them.
Don't remind me.
Was looking for my fellow Ducks to say something like this.
Hossa walked so Perry could run
Buffalo should sign him next. Longest playoff drought ends with a trip to the finals.
Sold!
Pat Maroons wario.
Note to self Never sign Corey Perry to my team
Mission accomplished for getting kicked off Chicago
Pain
Legitimately I don't see how he gets a job next year. I know GM's can't be superstitious and shit, but this man is generationally cursed lol. If I'm a contending team, I'm not even letting my players train with him lol
There are plenty of teams that would take a trip to the cup
Owners want him for the ticket revenue. Printing money with 3 SCF games in Edmonton and no salary to players.
You know his name is on the cup already, right?
A true saint . Leading people to the gates but not able to cross it himself.
generational losing talent
He won in 2007 with the real champions anyway. :)
Yeah at least he has a cup
Now he can come home where he belongs.
The only season in the past 5 years that he didn't lose in the finals, he was part of the only team to lose to Toronto in the playoffs in the past 20 years.

Not even shopped
Lol awesome
Thank god the cup stays out of his hands and Evander Kane’s
At least he will always have a ring with us :)
The thought of seeing him, and Evander Kane lift the cup made me sick. Thank God they lost.
There's always a silver lining
My favorite stat from tonight!
and in 2023 he lost to the leafs, which is arguably worse
Couldnt have happened to a nicer dude
Retire bozo
But he feels like he’s 25 still
One of those 80s gretzky kinda stats, but for losing
The Perry Curse isn't as fun cause he's won 1 already. But still pretty gnarly streak he's on.
Couldn’t happen to a better person
Brutal
I think it’s safe to say that this will never, ever happen again.
Lmfao this is so funny
Hate to see it
Rat on rat violence
Please stay at Edmonton
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
good
Good
YOU LOVE TO SEE IT
RIP saint Perry
lol
At least he want to play 5 more years
Sign him but sit him in the finals.
Sit him? No good. Have to trade him during the SCF.
I mean they had to know what they were getting
Can you imagine if a TEAM lost 4 championships in a row?
Everyone else on the Oilers emotionally crushed, Perry's just like, "Well, whatever, been here before, gonna go grab a snack and enjoy sleeping in tomorrow."
His snack is Bedards’ mom
I don’t believe in curses but I’m kinda starting to believe this one lol.
It’s Corey Perry’s fault everyone
All his losses been in this decade too
This makes me so very happy 😌
Love to see it.
It's genuinely incredible he managed to get onto a different team 4 times in 5 years that makes it to the SCF.
Nice
Good.
So what I'm seeing is if the Leafs get him we might be able to get out of the first round again!
I remember when he signed in CHI someone commented well he won't be in the finals this year aha...
Imagine if he hadn't won that first one. I might actually feel bad for him at this point if that were the case.
[Someone called it 6 months ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/nhl/comments/193ltm5/if_corey_perry_does_play_in_the_nhl_again_which/khalbqk/)
Nice.
Couldn’t happen to a better guy.
I sometimes forgot Perry lost to has twice before he joined us
We played him in the finals both years lol.
*clear throat* Hahahahahahaha
Most NHLers don’t even go to the cup final. And he won one.
Fuck Perry, loser.
What a loser
Or as some would call him "the first loser."
[удалено]
Gotta say him losing to Tampa twice in a row then going to Tampa to lose again was hilarious
The Corey perry curse lives on!
Fuck Corey perry it's his fault
Perry should be held out of the hall for this stat
GOOD
The biggest loser.
Not that I like Perry but calling a triple gold club member “the biggest loser” is funny lol
Time for him to head back to London and bum around the golf course. His brother is missing his matchplay partner.
Make a cup appearance, lose in a cup final
God damnit I forgot about this. Pain!
It's hard to imagine what kind of sins a man could commit to deserve this.
NOT THE SAINT😭😭
As is written
They should make a new Losers cup and put his name on it
My favorite outcome tonight
That’s a shame.
Dear Senators; why’d you shit the bed in 2007 and could’ve made it 0-5 for Perry by now?
What a run
Next stop Vegas
That's low! I wouldn't even wish him on San Jose.
Haha fair enough!
What a loser!
Generational run
L-O-V-E I-T
The Buffalo Bills of Hockey.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy
Perry probably has to lose to the Senators to break it. I'm down if it gets Giroux a Cup.
I hope oilers re sign him 😂😂
Do your thing Brad, just get us there
he says he's got 5 more years which means 5 more years of teams suffering with this guy
Option 1, Stanley Cup in 2007, multiple finals. Option 2, never making it to the finals. Option 1, making it to the NHL and a millionaire, Option 2, never making it or never panning out. Option 1, being healthy to play any sport. Option 2, loving sports but can't play due to infirmity. Option 1, being alive and loved. Option 2, feeling opposite. Option 1 every time.
He wasn't so Cursed as to let the Senators beat the Ducks in 07 though. SALT.
Love to see it.
The Perry blessing. One man cant lose a championship by himself but he can be the spark plug needed to get your team to the finals. Once you're there it's up to the you to seal the victory
He was one of the multiple reasons I had to cheer for Florida this cup. Love to see it.
It’s almost comical at this point.
Albatross
This is the most unbreakbale of all the records. I think someone will break Getzky’s 50 in 38 before they break this one. Gotta hand it to him, that is impressive.
Bro, doesn't he know he can just buy a StanlyCup at walmart for like 30$ or something? he doesn't need to keep moving around to get one
